Sharing apps between your iPhone and iMac

How do you share apps from your iPhone to your iMac?

If there is a Mac counterpart to an iPhone App you want, then yes you have to purchase them separately.

Is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad. We share the same email and itunes account.

You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jimmy

I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

Can icloud sync an app between 2 iphones and an ipod?

I was wondering if the icloud can sync an app between 2 iphones and an ipod under the same ID

Yes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 setup iCloud on all devices under the same account and backup to the cloud. If its two iPhones, are they both one owner? If not,it's best to not setup iCloud on a device that is not the same owner.

Sharing iTunes between an iPhone and iPad is causing me grief

I have an iPhone 3Gs and an iPad 3G. Whenever I sync either of them, iTunes dumps all of my iPad apps onto my iPhone and vise versa. So I have to manually go and delete all the iPhone apps from my iPad and my iPad apps from my iPhone.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Shouldn't iTunes know to keep the two devices and their apps separate?
Much thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if this it the best way, but once you hook up either your iphone or your ipod to itunes there is a tab called Apps under the device where you can manually check which apps you want to synch to that particular device. (uncheck the ones you don't want on that device.) Do the same on the other device and it should stay that way next time you hook up each device. You can do this after the initial automatic synch.

All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5). Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before. iPad now zero.

I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer. I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message. I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps. When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings). Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home). Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out. Nothing will download to my iPad.
My original Apple account is under my name. However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com. Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts. This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before. To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com). I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly. And I need it for work.
I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps. Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue. I appreciate your help and suggestions.

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Sharing music between ipod, iphone, and samsung touch screen cp

i have an ipod and an iphone. how do i share music between the two with a samsung touch screen cp
it shows up in the library but will not share with either iphone or ipod

- For this:
Thank you very much! I just need to be sure my texts from my work iPhone don't show up on the iPod. I can turn off the iMessage app
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and make sure you emaill address and phone number do not appear. Delete them if necessary. You can then add her own email address so you can message her.
- The iPod will only use a phone number for Messages if the Account used to set up the iPod includes an iPhone and the iPod has iOS 6. You can't add non-iPhone number to Messages on an iPod.

Transferring app between my iPhone and iPad mini?

I just bought the new iPad mini w/ retina, and it's awesome. I have an app on my iPhone 5 called "The Oxford Dictionary of the Classical World" and I use it constantly. I want it on my new Ipad, but it dosen't seem to be available in the app store any longer. Can I transfer it from my phone somehow?

Dear JMRT,
thanks for the respond, however, this is the way I would do it if i would have purchased on my iphone/ipad first and would like to have it on my Mac. but in my case I bought it on the MAC first and would now like to have it on iphone.
It works with most of the other apps, but those two no, although they are also made for iphone/ipda.
So the question is how to getit from Mac to phone?
Cheers

I'd like to know tips for sharing apps between my wife and myself on two iPads with two apple IDs and one computer.

I'm new to iTunes, app store, and managing content on two iPads and an iPod. I manage both iPads and an iPod on one computer, but we have two apple IDs. All my music is on a home-theatre pc. I don't really understand home sharing yet, and I am hoping for some tips from experienced users to keep me from losing content, or mixing up apps and confusing digital rights etc.

You cannot share apps, or any other content purchased from the iTunes Store, between two different Apple IDs. Those purchases are tied to the Apple ID.

Sharing content between macbook air and imac

Hi there,
I appreciate this is a naiive question but i want to share content from my imac to my macbook air (music and photos not on my stream). Everything (calendars etc.) is all synched up using the cloud but can I simply connect my macbook air to my imac and drag away?
That seems too simple!

If you want to share just a few gigabyte of data and aren't concerned about putting stuff in the cloud, consider DropBox. Or....
1) Open System Preferences on both computers & select the Sharing tab
2) In the left side of the dialog box there's a list of sharing services. Turn on File Sharing (I also use Screen Sharing which lets me control one Mac with the other. Convenient at times) In the top give each computer a meaningful name if you haven't already.
3) Give the computer a minute or two and then from one computer (doesn't matter which) open a Finder window and look under the shared are of the sidebar. (You may need to turn on the shared devices in the Finder preferences)
4) in the dialog box enter the user name and password for the computer you are trying to share not the computer you are logging in from.
5) you'll get a window of your user directory and from there you can find the data you want to copy onto your computer. You can also copy data from the computer you are using onto the computer you are sharing.

Is it possible to read books, downloaded from the Store on Both your iPhone and iMac?

Sometimes I want to read on a larger screen, and if at home, it would be convenient to use the iMac to view books I have purchased using my iPhone.

ibooks are epub which is a std format and many readers read it like stanza which is a mac app too
problem is that apples ebooks have DRM so they can likely only be read using the ibook app
which is not avaible on other platforms then ios

How do you delete an app from your iPhone and everywhere else?

Vonage just messaged me that they have a new iPhone app replacing the old one.
OK. I'll download it.
But I want to get rid of the old Vonage app from everywhere it exists in my Apple ecosystem (2 iPhones, iPad and iTunes on my Mac, maybe even my iCloud)
How is this done?

Has anyone had issues with texting between your iPhone and your iPad 2?

If I send a text message from my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 to someone it sometimes creates two different text feeds in my friend's phone. So it shows two different text "groups" in their iPhone. If they reply on one of them I don't get the messages. Any ideas?

Check to make sure you have the Recieve At going to the same email address on both devices. Settings > Messages > Receive At

After resetting phone how do iI reinstall paid apps.

By redownloading them from the iTunes Store, which is free from that Apple ID, or resyncing them from a computer.
